Fashion Notes.

| Circular cloaks are revived in London.
They are made of materials OF neutral
tints, lined with some bright color
Many of the handsomest hats and bon
nets are trimmed with loops OF ribbon
only no feathers nor metal ornaments.
Condor-yelIow. mermaid pink, and
glycerine or licorice purple are the three
latest colors on the palette of fashion.
Parisians are wearing tartan plaids for
the entire dress, or in combination with
plain colors. the plaids. however, are
small.
The favorite colors for evening dresses
are pink, mauve, maize, cream, sulphur,
helotrope, pale blue and an exquisite tint
of green,
The newest cloaks for little girls have
waists reaching only to the armpits, more
like deep yoke than waist, and skirts
falling to the ankles.
1t is said that the jackets for spring will
be quite short and made of light checked
and drab cloths furnished with fy fronts.
and that long listers of drab cloths, fur
nished with fy-front like a gentleman's
overcoat, will be worn.
Pleated fronts to basques are worn BY
persons who have very slender figures,
even in the heaviest velvet materials.
They have two pleats at the top of the
shoulders next the collar, and then drawn
up at the middle, becoming plain at the
waist line.
Nearly all the newest wraps have the
fashionable sling sleeve. and those
wraps made of the same material as the
suit show, when the arm is raised. lining
OF soft striped surah; the same lining is
employed for the little fancy mutf also
matching the suit.
A feature of the spring wool goods
which will be welcomed by every one is
the importation of materials by the yard,
instead of in "robes." There are no dress
patterns technically known among mer-
chants as "rcbes'' among the French
goods, and no new robes in market ex-
cept OF cheap German manufacturers.
The tendency in draperies is to make
them long and full and quite dssimilar to
anything hitherto fashionable. The drap
cries have heavy, pointed tan folds and
very little looping The effect is obtained
by the varying length Of the points in
which the drapery hangs rather than by
loops. These modes are seen with plain
skirts and large tourn1re.

QUAKER TESTIMONY.

Mrs. A. NJ. Dauphin of 1899 Ridge Ave-, Philsdel.
phia has done great deal to make known to ladies
there the great value of Mrs. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, as for their troubles and diseases.
She writes as follows: "a young lady OF this city
while bathing some years ago was thrown violently
against the life line and the injuries received result
ed in an ovarian tumor which grew and enlarged
until death seemed certain. Her physician finally
advised her to try Mrs. Pinkham's Compound. She
did So and In short time the tumor was dissolved
and she is now in perfect health. also know OF
many cases where the medicine has been of great
value in preventing miscarriage and alternating the
pains and dangers of childbirth. Philadelphia ladies
appreciate the worth OF this medicine and its great
value.
A Constant study of Noted Woman's I.tfe
Mrs. Lydia Pinkham. for years. made the diseases
and weaknesses of her sex constant study, and as
4 result of il was the famous vegetable Compound
Her knowledge equalled that of any frst-class ply
sician and therefore the remedy can be taken with
nerfect confidence. The subjects of treatment are
10 delicate that it is hard TO be understood without
trespassing on the grounds of what may seem i'm
proper language; yet it is well known fact that
not one woman in ten is free from pain and troubles
therefore there is no good reason why they should
not have the means placed before them of saving
Themselves ALL If the greater part Of the periodic
and other suffering. The medicine is exclusively for

The Mississippi State W. G. T. u.

the presence of the father and
mother of the murdered editor,
Gam brell. The convention resolv-
ed that the State Union erect a
monument 20 the fallen hero. A
memorial service was held, and
appropriate resolutions were adopt
ed. The death of Mississippis

From The Superintendent OF

People.

been permitted to see some success
browning my work, but what /
have accomplished is only q few
drops in the bucket; but even my
limited success is to me a revela.
ton of soma of the possibilities
which lie in this field Of work, if it
met generally with the same en-.
couragement it has met in some
localities. This year from Kansas
comes the gratifying intelligence,
"that the vote of the colored wo-
men on the side of whisky, was
surprisingly small" Also from an
Eastern paper, the Christian Re.
corder, l copy the following state.

ed women to the law and order
ticket" Says the Messenger, "They
stood q solid front to the enemy;
no money could buy them; no
threats inundated, no batteries
persuaded them. They said We
are for law and order against the
saloon" Last year the state sup
erintendent of colored work in
Kansas proved herself an efficient
helper in opening the way for the
national superintendent of colored
work to labor in that state, and
when the fall reports from that de-
partment came in from different
states l do not think that all the
Northern states combined sent re-
ports of as many W. G. T. I'M
ions among the colored people as
did Kansas. This year the colored
women in that state have a record
as voters for which we may thank
God and take courage. Last year
Mrs. Hoffman invited the national
superintendent into Missouri to at
tend the annual meeting. The
most pleasant and generous recog-
milton was given her, new state
superintendent was appointed for
her department, and the way open
ed for work throughout the state.
Several Unions were formed, one
of the most active and efficient be-
ing in St. Louis, which has had
the helping hand of the district
President, and drawn into it some
OF the best intellects among the
colored women of that city. What
Missouri and Kansas have done
cannot other states do alsof And
may l not ask other Unions that
have umbers of colored people in
their midst, to use their influence
to enlist their interest in our COM
mon cause, to scatter literature
broadcast among their children, to
invite them into their Bands of
Hope, to interest ministers more
deeply in the salvation of our
young men and women from the
power of the liquor traffic?

Hard on the Circus.

The season has come, remarks an ex-
change, when the rural population revels
In the pleasure Of the circus. But IL looks
very much as though this Springs crop Of
clowns and trick mules would be very
short. The Interstate Commerce law has
had "a depressing effect on the circus in.
dustry. This is unfortunate. The deca-
dence Of the circus would be q national
calamity. When the elephant no longer
stalks about the ring and the Circassian
girl has retired to private life, when the
great tents are laid away forever and the
strawberry and vanilla funny man no longer
sings bis moss-covered ballads, then In
deed will the ruinous iconoclasm of an ir-
reveront century be laid bare in all It's hid
eous cruelty No man who has ever bal.
anced himself for hours on narrow plank
with one arm around his best girl and the
other thrust into pocket filed with pea
nuts, but will feel sentimental sadness
creep over him as he learns that the circus,
as an institution, is at present under most
unwelcome cloud.

whether Prothonotary Snyder should have
a second term, but it failed to carry"
Now these are the facts, the general busi-
ness having been transacted it was moved
by member of the jury at his own in
stance, and possibly being a warm friend
of Mr. Snyder, that vote be taken for
prothonotary. The following letter sent us
shows the result Of the vote taken:
